Notes about Thomas Hope

Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_&_Co.

Archibald Hope (1664-1743) was a Scottish merchant in Rotterdam.  Six of his eight sons were merchants of trade who were active in shipping, storage, insurance and credit in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.  In the early period the Hope brothers made money organizing shipment for Quakers out of Rotterdam (under the direction of Archibald, Isaac and Zachary) and the slave trade in Amsterdam (under the direction of Thomas and Adrian). During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) the Hope brothers became very wealthy from speculation.  In 1762 when the nephews Jan (John) and Henry Hope (1736-1811) joined Hopes, the name was changed to Hope & Co.

In 1752 Thomas Hope (1704-1779) became a member of the "Gentlemen XVII", the regents of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).  Four years later he became head regent of the VOC, and in 1766 he became the spokesperson for William V of Orange, the formal head of the VOC.  In 1770 Thomas retired and passed his responsibilities to his son John (1737-1784), who remained with the VOC and Hope & Co. until his death.
